    Yea! I think I've seen that before. It actually makes sense. There is no other way to overcome those vibrations.

    Now I was thinking - what if they could use electromagnets for counterweights and create "dynamic counterweights". That way they could detect and create the counterweight forces electronically instead of lugging that weight around all the time.
    Nice picture btw!

    Pique away my friends, this thread is turning into dork central haha.
